I have noticed on this site that many of you use BLO. I always like to try new things so I decided that I would buy some and try it. If I use it on puzzle parts would I have to fallow up with a finish? If I use it on word art would I use it before I put on my backer or after? I would paint my backer black and also use lacquer for my final finish. Any help is appreciated. dave

Russell, How do you turn it? When I imported it, it turned. dave

Thanks Russell. 14" diameter 1/4" plywood. dave

Thank you Neptun (Sasho) for the cool pattern. I thought the message would be fitting. I made it plenty big so it would be easy to cut. Plaque measures 14" in diameter. dave

I put together a couple clip arts and came up with this simple plaque for the for those golf lovers. Measures 9" x 11". I used 1/4" mdf with 1/2" Baltic Birch backer. Why does photo load sideways? dave

Super nice job. Don't you have Baltic Birch where you live? dave

Nice cutting, The ash is really nice. Do you dip your project in the BLO or do you brush it on? dave

Ralph, I use inkscape ant gimp. Travis has put together great videos to learn them. I'm a slow learner so I have had to watch them multiple times. A lot of guys on this site are much better than I ever expect to be but that doesn't discourage me. dave -
Great story. dave

You sure are keeping busy Kevin. Ralph, Yours look good also. dave

Ralph, On the boxes I put a piece of cherry on top of the maple and cut through at about 2 1/2 degree angle and cut the image in. I glue that in and then lay a piece of walnut on top of that and cut my lettering in. The biggest trick is making sure you glue it in well so when you do your second inlay little pieces of the first don't fall out. I use double faced scotch tape when I stack the two pieces together for cutting. I'm thinking when Jim Finn does his he uses a hot glue gun. I don't have one so I have never tried that. In my oppinion the thicker the wood the harder it is to get a good job. dave
